The End of Cheap Food is Near as a Highly Technological and Fragile System Faces Collapse
Charles Hugh Smith published an excellent commentary yesterday about how the era of cheap food in America is quickly coming to an end. As a producer and marketer of high quality food produced by small-scale enterprises for the past 20+ years, this is a topic near and dear to my heart, and one I have written about frequently for the past couple of decades, warning that a day like this was coming. Prior to the Industrial Age ushered in by WWII, for thousands of years a person's or family's wealth was not measured by how much money one had in a bank account, but by how much real asse... read more

Even Putin allies are starting to speak out about the war
Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a Security Council meeting at the Kremlin in Moscow on September 9. | Gavriil Grigorov/Sputnik/AFP via Getty Images Here’s what their responses say about the political factors weighing on Putin — and how that all might affect his response to the Ukrainian counteroffensive. A surprise Ukrainian counteroffensive over the weekend appears to have caught Russia on its back foot — and could have consequences for Russian President Vladimir Putin both in the war and at home. In just days, Ukrainian forces liberated more than 150,000 people and 3,... read more

The Sickness Of The American Left And The Path To RecoveryThe U.S. has entered a dark period. Economic crisis wracks its capitalist system. Military instability and chaos reign supreme over its imperialist ventures. Political illegitimacy worsens by the year, at times by the month. These conditions sound favorable to the growth of revolutionary possibilities within the citadel of imperialism. But such is not the case at the moment. Discipline and organization are at perhaps their weakest point in generations. Young people are moving toward socialist politics. However, a similar number of people have embraced the politics of a U.S.-led Ne... read more

War Is Not The Answer To Deep Planetary InsecurityGrave news comes to us from the United Nations (UN). The latest Human Development Report (2021–22) records that for the first time in thirty-two years, the Human Development Index has registered a second consecutive year of decline. The previous five years of gains in areas such as health and education have been negated by this reversal. ‘Billions of people face the greatest cost-of-living crisis in a generation’, says the report. ‘Billions already grapple with food insecurity, owing largely to inequalities in wealth and power that determine entitlements to food.

The impact will most certainly be felt in the Middle East region and especially in Israel.

Ukraine – Dissecting Some War Propaganda News ItemsLast night a Reuters headline claimed: Mass grave of more than 440 bodies found in Izium, Ukraine -police. The Reuters headline was 100% false.

*"Although he foresaw and avoided the deadly consequences of both armed conflict in Soviet republics and the continuation of Cold War hostilities, Gorbachev’s legacy falls far short of the praise heaped on it. Instead, the final Soviet leader’s legacy should serve to illuminate the evils of communism and collectivism more broadly.

Latest Durham Bombshell: FBIgate And The Mar-a-Lago RaidWhen White House consultants Anita Dunn and John Podesta strutted old senile Joe Biden out as the new Torquemada for his September 1st rant from Hell at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, it was a desperate move to avert a looming disaster in the Midterms and beyond. So was the search of President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago residence. Several developments in the wake of these events make this very clear.

How Ukraine got the upper hand against Russia
Ukraine’s breakthrough counterattack, explained. In the spring and summer of 2022, the war between Ukraine and Russia settled into a stalemate.

But in September, that chapter came to an end. For the first time in several months, Ukraine scored a major victory and won back significant territory from Russia. Ukraine pulled off this victory by taking advantage of a surprising weakness in t... read more
